How to promote your blog!

Everyone starts a blog for a reason, whether it be to vent their frustrations or to talk about their passion. Everyone wants what they spend hours working on to get read even if its by one person.

Ask any blogger and they will tell you how hard it is get your content read. So I thought I would share how I promote my blog and any tips I have learnt along the way.

One of the common ways to promote your blog is to use social media. Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest and Instagram are your most common social medias at this time. So by share,posting and pinning all of your blog posts makes it that little bit easier for someone to stumble upon.

Another really good website/ app to use is Blogluvin'. This another social media platform specifically for blogs. You ink your account to your blog and once your post goes live it automatically update your Blogluvin' profile. Those that are following your Profile get notified. This app can also downloaded.

Top tips!

Facebook Groups- A great way to not only get your posts noticed but to also interact with other bloggers are Facebook groups. By joining groups you can use their daily threads to boost your blog posts and all your social medias you use!

Twitter chats- There are any Twitter chats which go on each day! These offer the opportunity to talk about everyday things with other people before sharing your blog links.

#'s - When sharing your blog posts on Twitter and Instagram, make sure you use relevant hashtags(#), helps people with the same interest find you. For example, if your blog post is about beauty you would use #beauty #makeup.

Write descriptions- When sharing your posts on Pinterest, Its best to write your own description. This helps it stand out for the generic description.
